Has anyone used a "rear bar" ? UR-RL2-932

 

Where did you find this? It looks like it would give big improvements in handling with all those braces!

 

U wanna try them out? search for ultra racing aristo. I'm interested in that bar... but my weakness is in the front. Maybe something to do with the end links and brace. I was looking for the fender bar for these too.

double check: Our muffler might be in the way... or atleast the pipe.

 

I went to the website but can't find the prices! Thats the most important part. Yeah i feel the same way with the font on my car. And we basically have the same setup but my rear feels real solid, the front seems soft compared. You have TRD sways though right?

 

Yes... trd blue. search on ebay for the item. It looks like it'll clear... I might get this despite the rear being very stable.

here yah go

The TOMs 6 link ties those two outer mounting points with the pivot point on each lower control arm.

Structurally the TOM's appears to be a better design providing a better stiffening of the rear end than the Ultra racing set up shown.




The front end feels loosey goosey during turn in, but when applying power coming out of a turn, the rear bracing comes in to play. Anyone with an LSD and has practiced drifting out of a turn will appreciate the additional rear bracing.

 

DOh!!! I bought one already. I Guess I can't modify it to work with the Tom's knock off! I might just get the toms knock off to work with my figs parts.

Edit... actually, the pivot point of the Lower arm is flimsy (I broke it off on a turn [had to get the rear unibody replaced)... hmmm

 

here's the top speed front brace....interesting. (I have the trd; much stiffer but the Ultra racing one works in conjuction with oem brace)





wont be using this..my car is already having too much fun scraping.

 

Btw sam. How does your car handle with the TRD sways and coilovers? I've been wanting the sways for a while now and am soon guna buy them after i have enough saved up. Do the sways make a big difference?

 

It works quite well... less leaning but I need more support in the front. I think my dinky end links are bending. I was hoping someone donate their used one to figs so he can grab some parts together for us.

 

The TOMs front brace has one more stiffening point added on each side than the TRD.

I don't have a pic readily available of the location, but it's been discussed on threads years ago that the TOMs was arguably better than the TRD.

Again TOMs FTW.


and GO GIANTS ! ! !

 

I agree! That's why im going with tom's front brace, TRD sways, Tom's rear brace and those ebay 6 links. I wonder how the quality on those compare to tom's? If it's even noticable...

 

man i wanna be braced up

 

crap... something else to buy now.

 

I'm looking at the UR-RL4-930 4 point rear brace and I'm not sure if i should bite the bullet and go with the more expensive tom's rear brace or be cheap and go with this UR brace. I have the top speed front brace and i always get a clunking noise everytime I stop and accelerate. So now I'm afraid of trying aftermarket braces from an non Tom's manufacturer. It's so sad that no other company makes any aftermarket braces for the 2nd gen gs.
